Why does my iPad show when my wife has a phone call?

When my wife receives a phone call on her iPhone, my iPad shows me the option to answer or decline the call. I'm sure that this has something to do with home sharin, but I don't know how to turn it off or even what I did to cause it. Please help! We are both annoyed when this happens.

iPad, iOS 9.2, IPad Pro

It is unrelated to HomeSharing. It is caused by sharing the same Apple ID on both devices. Its a feature called Continuity, and will only happen when both devices are on the same Wifi network.

You have 2 choices. either stop Sharing the Apple ID, or turn off iPhone Cellular Calls on your iPad's Facetime settings.
